Cuenca's a lovely city, although the weather hasn't treated me particularly well during my short stay. Still, I'd happily have stayed longer, even if the rain kept me indoors — there's no shortage of comfortable cafes in which to sit and write. But Patagonia's still thousands of kilometres south, and I have to keep moving. I'll remember Cuenca fondly, though.
This is the view looking back into town from just outside my hostel. Almost everything you see is typical except the absence of cars and the presence of just one person.

It's lovely to find a place with charm, especially if it's not obvious, a feel to a locale.
Zhoen, I left Cuenca this morning and miss it. So many places on this journey have affected me strongly, for the right reasons.
It looks like a place built on a human scale, by human hands, unlike many cities.
Safe journey.
RR, that's exactly it. (Thank you: Peru tomorrow, all going well. It's a multi-journey trip.)
From what you wrote about Cuenca in your other blog, and now this picture, i think I could happily stay there writing for a time too!
Lydia, I'm sure you could. I've found a few ohter places like that, too — places like Huaraz in Peru, for example.
